SUMMARY
"The effect of the book does not only depend on mysery or suspense; nor on the casual intimations of evil that Miss Jackson can put in a phrase....The effect depends rather on her ability to specify a real world which is at once more sane and more mad than the world we see....The havoc [Cousin Charles] wreaks, and the unsuspected denouement of the action, bring into soft focus the human ambivalences of guilt and atonement, love and hate, health and psychosis....Shirley Jackson has once again effected a marvelous elucidation of life in the ageless form of a story full of craft and full of mystery."Jackson, Shirley is the author of 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle', published 1984 under ISBN 9780140071078 and ISBN 0140071075.
